- floppies have neither NFS nor CDROM support
- add a section about firmware upgrades, and tell that they might be
necessary, especially for U1/1E/2 systems. Pointed out from brad@, some of
the information provided here comes from Sun's firmware update documentation.

``boot cdrom'', says jason@.
ok deraadt@
|
|
- add miniroot and bootable cd-rom information
- fix a few wordings
- fix incorrect Solaris manual pages section names
- replace a rip-off of boot_sparc(8) with a more adequate rip-off of
boot_sparc64(8)
The whole ok deraadt@
|
|
- Provide typical Solaris command lines for creating floppies, dumping
miniroots to disks, and filling tapes.
- Make the tape generation script more versatile.
- When SunOS add_client(8) is mentioned, mention Solaris share(1M) as well.
- Add ``Installing from Solaris'' instructions for sparc and sparc64 ports
- While there, slight fixes to the ``Installing from SunOS'' sections on
sparc and sun3.

Ok miod@, deraadt@
|

- some models (PCI mostly?) print a warning about the lack of counter-timer
during boot, which can be safely ignored
- using the floppy image as a miniroot, you might have to tell the kernel
root and swap device information.
Based on feedback from Jack Woehr <jax@purematrix.com>, thanks !
And now, a word from our sponsors:
Are you reading source-changes@? Do you have full access to ultrasparc
hardware? Now is your chance to become famous! Just try installing OpenBSD
on your machine, by any method you can think of, and keep trying. Report
your results to me (or sparc@), as well as errors or shortcomings in the
installation notes, and your feedback might make it into the next set of
installation notes, with appropriate credit!

nice miniroot.

can be used as poor man's miniroot.

- try to have consistent order, across arches, in the list of possible
installation media.
- alpha can't install over nfs, but macppc can.

o Clarify that cksum(1) and md5(1) are actual commands. Some
systems only have md5(3) functions and the corresponding
command is something different.

floppy (sync with sparc layout)
- meanwhile, comment out one reference to floppy boot which escaped.

|
- remove more sparc'isms. The more you remove, the more there are...
- describe more fun installation methods
- fix a random typo

will do since the two floppy installation is long dead.
And don't even mention it on sparc64 (yet).

While there, remove a duplicated sentence on hp300 and add the complete
bsd.rd installation description to the vax notes.

Sets sizes are still completely bogus, though.

Update the list of unsupported framebuffers: there's no point in
mentioning VME framebuffers, or SBus framebuffers which were never
supported on the UltraSPARC and will probably not work on them
(assuming they would fit in the case, something the cgtwelve can't do).
Make more clear, however, that the kernel will be able to use the
OpenPROM console whatever the framebuffer is.

Thanks to jason@ for hints and feedback.
